City Council abandons City Centre PSPO

Greens celebrate as Labour decides not to continue with the City Centre Public Spaces Protection Order.

The Greens managed to get the Council to abandon the proposed Waterways PSPO [1] and forced the Council to water down the City Centre PSPO but still opposed its introduction in 2015 calling it draconian, cruel and callous [2]. The proposals were extremely controversial [3,4].

Says a Green spokesperson, "Labour have finally accepted that the Greens were correct, The PSPO was draconian and unnecessary. Good riddance."
